Milwaukee FPC Live Venue construction goes vertical
The FPC Live venue last week celebrated the start of vertical construction as an elevator shaft and steel structures were visible in downtown Milwaukee.
The project is led by Madison-based concert promoter Frank Productions, with a capacity of 4,500 and a budget approaching $70 million. Joel Plant, CEO of Frank Productions, said the rise in the budget was due to aggressive construction costs since breaking ground in May. But the bigger picture of future building remains the same, he added,
“We’re approaching $70 million, it’s just a note that construction costs continue to be aggressive,” Plant said. “We’ve made some adjustments to the building internally, nothing terribly dramatic but we’re sorting out the finer details of seating placement and amenities inside the building. Nothing large scale has changed since we finished the construction drawings,” he added.
